Aktuelle Tätigkeiten:

Rover

* The Tennant Creek IOCG deposits are characterised by very high gold grades. This means that commercially viable deposits may be found at depths of hundreds of metres. * Drilling by Westgold Resources Ltd on the Rover 1 anomaly, located less than one kilometre from the boundary of EL25581, returned spectacular intersection including one of 65 metres at 11 g/t gold & 0.75% copper. * Historical drilling over a number of years by explorers in the Rover field has determined that large areas of the Warramunga Formation, which hosts the orebodies at Tennant Creek, exist at depth under cover.

Roper Bar

The Roper Bar Iron Ore project is located in the Roper River region of the Northern Territory, some 40 kilometres from the Gulf of Carpentaria. The nearest settlement is at Roper Bar, 80 kms to the northwest.

WDR in partnership with IMEA Exploration and Development Australia Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of the Japanese company ITOCHU Corporation hold tenements which cover extensive areas of outcropping ironstone and substantial quantities under thin cover.

Under the terms of the farm-in agreement, ITOCHU will spend up to A$15m to earn a 51% interest in the Roper Bar Iron Ore project. In addition, ITOCHU will have marketing rights to 100% of product from the joint venture.

The Gladstone project forms part of a joint venture with unlisted company Genesis Resources Limited. Under the joint venture agreement, which also includes the McArthur River tenement in the Northern Territory, WDR can earn a 45% interest by spending $600,000 on exploration and issuing 5 million shares to Genesis Resources Limited.

The Gladstone project is prospective for manganese, a crucial element in the steel-making process. It comprises one granted exploration permit, EPM15771, located 15 kms west of Gladstone in Queensland. The area includes numerous manganese deposits extending over 21 kms. The largest deposit, Mount Miller, produced over 20,000 tonnes of high-grade manganese at an average of 40%-50% Mn. At current prices this equates to approximately US$500 per tonne of ore.
